Qin Zhen was bewildered. Who was this person who seemed so composed? Where was he? He instinctively stepped aside, and when he entered again, he felt the strange gazes from the people in the private room. He discreetly scanned around and spotted Tang Fangmo and Shen Qingyue, then headed towards them.

Just last night, Tang Fangmo was calling him ‘Brother-in-law’. He thought that Tang Fangmo did not want him to divorce Shen Qingyue and was trying to set them up. After all, Tang Fangmo used to admire him a lot. After some consideration, he decided to save Tang Fangmo’s face. He even bought a gift on his way here, which was the reason for his tardiness.

Standing before the two of them, Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment and then called out, “Brother. I bought you a gift on my way here. Take a look, do you like it?”

Tang Fangmo coldly snorted, “No need. I can’t afford gifts from you, Young Master Qin.”

Qin Zhen frowned, “You specifically called me here just to be sarcastic?”

“I didn’t know what you did yesterday! Now that I know, any sarcasm from me is well-deserved!” He hadn’t acted yet, which was already a testament to his restraint.

Qin Zhen noticed the change in Tang Fangmo’s attitude and looked at Shen

Qingyue, “Did you badmouth me to him?”

Shen Qingyue retorted, “Does he have any good qualities worth praising?”

Qin Zhen’s expression darkened. This woman had caused so much trouble recently, and now she was speaking to him in this manner? “Let’s step outside and talk.”

Shen Qingyue simply ignored him. Who did he think he was?

Tang Fangmo stood even more in front of Shen Qingyue, “If you want to talk, we’ll talk here. Dream on if you think we’re going out.”

“What I have to say is not convenient…” Qin Zhen suppressed his anger and surveyed the people around him.

Shen Qingyue felt nothing but annoyance. She knew that encountering Qin Zhen was never a good sign. She had already been trending on social media recently, and now with Qin Zhen’s appearance, people around them were gossiping even more. She did not want a scene here, so she frowned and said, “You have ten minutes, so you’d better have something important to say!”

She then turned to Tang Fangmo and added, “I’ll go talk to him. Don’t worry,

I’ve learned boxing. This lunatic won’t bother us for long.”

Tang Fangmo was left speechless, all the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat. He could only watch them walk away, wearing a face of constipation.

On the hotel balcony.

Leaning against the wall, Shen Qingyue impatiently said, “Hurry up and speak; I’ve started counting.”

Qin Zhen hesitated and said, “… Don’t you think you’ve been involved in too many online scandals lately? Have you forgotten the warning I gave you back then?”

Shen Qingyue lazily responded, “You’ve given me so many warnings, which one are you talking about?”

Qin Zhen struggled to keep his composure. “You’ve been trending with different men every other day recently. Have you ever thought about the impact on both the Qin and Shen families? Because of you, Jiu’er and I have been criticized as scum. Haven’t you reflected on this?”

Shen Qingyue tilted her head, looking him up and down. “Qin Zhen, is your brain wired differently from normal people? Are you missing something up there? Otherwise, how could you say something like this? Whether Jiu’er and you are scum or not, is that something that needs to be discussed? You two are the ones who need to reflect on whether or not you’re scum, right? As for the impact, it’s been quite beneficial for our Shen family. The sales in our fashion department have been steadily rising. The development project in the industrial zone is also making progress. Everything is going quite well. And about the online influence, if you can’t stand it, just remove the trending topics. I can’t control those entertainment journalists.”

Qin Zhen was left speechless for a long time! Those trending topics, if he could remove them, he would not be feeling so frustrated now. “I tried, but I can’t remove them. This is definitely the doing of Chi Ming. Go and ask him to delete the online posts. I find them irritating.”

“Who do you think you are? Why should I help you?” Shen Qingyue looked at the man who still tried to dictate to her, and she felt he was crazy. Sometimes she thought she must have been a type of supporting character in her past life, forced to be foolish, giving everything to make the male lead succeed, and then dying miserably. So, in the eyes of the male lead, she deserved to give everything for him.

It could only be said that Shen Qingyue had uncovered some truths. But she wasn’t a foolish supporting character; she was a tragic heroine of a tortured narrative. The kind of heroine who suffered physically and emotionally and only after her miserable death did the male lead have an awakening. Now, starting over, she was free from constraints, her mind naturally clear. The previous narrative setting could no longer control her.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen finally became furious. He stepped forward, pushing Shen Qingyue to a corner of the wall. “This mess started because of you. Why don’t you take responsibility? Don’t forget, when you were besieged by a group of people, I helped you! And now, for such a trivial matter, you won’t help me? Call Chi Ming now and tell him…”

Just then, a chilling male voice cut in, “Mr. Qin, if you want to remove the trending topic, just come to me directly.. Why trouble Qingyue?”
